Chloe Ayling is a Celebrity Big Brother housemate for summer 2018 and joins the likes of actress Roxanne Pallett, former TOWIE star Dan Osborne and celeb psychic Sally Morgan for what may be the last ever run of the series on Channel 5.

Celebrity Big Brother 2018

Polish Lukasz Herba was jailed for 16 years and nine months in June 2017 for Chloe's kidnap.

He'd told her he was a member of the Dark Web group the Black Death, which is reported to be involved in the trafficking of people.

Herba apparently took pictures of Chloe when she was unconcious and posted them along with her price.

He released her to the British Consulate in Milan after she told him she had a two year old son.

Does Chloe have a boyfriend and who is her son?

Chloe met ex boyfriend Conor Keyes while on holiday in Spain in 2014. In 2016 they welcomed son Ashton but split six months later. Conor was believed to be caring for the boy while she was being held captive.

Chloe had some pictures of him on her Instagram, which have since been deleted. But it was these that Chloe claims the captors saw and based their decision to release her on.

“I was not meant to be taken because the boss had seen my Instagram profile which clearly showed that I was a mum with a young boy and this went against the rules of the organisation,” she told The Sun after.

Chloe is believed to be currently single.

Herba claimed that Chloe was in on the whole thing and that she wanted to raise her profile and was short of money so they planned the kidnap together after meeting on Facebook.

She was also pictured walking along the street a day before her release holding Herba's hand.

However Chloe said that she realised she would have to befriend Herba if she wanted to stay alive and the two even shared a bed, although that's as far as it went.

Chloe perfectly fits the theme of this year's show after her traumatic experience but she also wants to put the record straight after being upset that people didn't believe her story and to get her life back on track.

"I am desperate to put this ordeal behind me. I refuse to be labelled as simply a kidnapped model or a victim forever," Chloe told the Daily Star, having previously admitted she was too scared to leave the house after she escaped.
